Extremely rare: a platinum Blancpain Minute Repeater Ladies, Ref. 0034, crafted by legendary casemaker Jean‑Pierre Hagmann. An early example, numbered “No. 2,” it bears his coveted “JHP” hallmark, stamped between the lugs.

Rare to find, the presence of the ‘JHP’ stamp carries immense weight, denoting a case hand‑crafted by one of the greatest artisans in watchmaking history. Celebrated for his work on Patek Philippe’s most complicated minute repeaters, Hagmann’s craftsmanship is synonymous with acoustic mastery, precision, and pure artistry. To encounter Hagmann’s signature on this piece - and in platinum too - is to recognize its distinction, treasured for both its scarcity and its provenance.

This models measures 28mm across, housing an ultra‑slim manual‑wind movement, revealed through its sapphire back. It is fitted with a Blancpain strap and 950 platinum tang buckle, and is accompanied by its box and Guarantee paper dated 1997.
